Special characters – punycode url

    Hello:

    I installed this plugin in plenty websites, and never got a single problem (except idiotic missclics causing little heart stops…)

    Today I installed it in a website with a IDN (multilingual) URL. (with a ñ)

    When I went to “Brute Force”–>change wp-admin url, checked the checkbox, and wrote a new admin access url, the plugin showed me a punycoded url: http://xn--xxxxxxxxx-w9a.es/? (I don’t wan’t to publish the website url yet). I thought the plugin will change the url in the .htaccess correctly, but when I saved and relogged, I got 404 error in the new admin url.

    Any idea to solve this?

    Thank you

    Hi, apparently at present you can’t use the following character (ñ). I assumed that also applies to anything letter with a stress or tilde.

    If you do you will see a message on the top of that screen saying the following.

    Attention!
    You must use alpha numeric characters for your login page slug.

    The plugin developers will investigate further this issue.

    Thank you

    Hi,
    I don’t fully understand the nature of your issue. Can you please explain further?

    Are you referring to the “Rename Login Page” feature?
    Are you saying that the plugin allowed you to enter an accented character such as “ñ” for the rename login slug?
    If so this should not be the case – ie, when saving the settings the plugin will give you an error message when you enter an illegal character.
